New Nanny Academy opens in Takapuna

Ashton Warner Academy is delighted to announce it has opened a new Nanny Academy Campus in Takapuna.

The Ashton Warner Nanny Academy had been operating from its current campus in Stanmore Bay for many years.

With the lease due to expire, we took the opportunity to establish a contemporary learning space at a new location in Takapuna. We’re welcoming new and existing students to the site at 51 Hurstmere Road this month.

New students now have the option of studying the NZ Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 3) and the NZ Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care (Level 5) from the new Takapuna Campus or at Royal Oak in association with our local partner campus, Future Skills Academy.

Marketing Manager, Kavi Sewdayal, said a number of factors were taken into account when selecting the new Takapuna site, including transport options, size, disability access, and potential for expansion.

“Takapuna presented as one of the best locations with easy access to transport, a great feel of the campus, access to local amenities and student accommodation, attractive lease options, and immediate availability,” he says.

All staff and students have been consulted about the move and support will be provided to ensure a smooth transition.

“Once the Takapuna site made it to the shortlist, we did a survey with staff and students at Ashton Warner including the prospective students for our 2023 cohort and we received a great response from everyone for the selected site address in Takapuna,” says Kavi.

Another bonus of the campus is that we already have great relationships with schools on the North Shore and our new campus will bring us closer to our school-leaver community, he says.

Ashton Warner Nanny Academy’s Early Childhood Education programmes are great for those who want to contribute to the education and care of infants, toddlers, and young children and make a difference in the lives of tamariki.

Our graduates go on to work in a range of roles including as nannies, babysitters, and early childhood educators. They work in New Zealand and all over the world through our relationships with nanny agencies abroad.
